Indigenous people are among those at the most extreme risk of violence. Our killers and abusers are overwhelmingly non-Native, and the pursuit criminal charges is often stonewalled by police.

I doubt most news outlets will cover the racial aspect of this. If you’re interested, look into MMIWP.

Do wealthy white liberals ever get bored of smugly blaming marginalized people for our own oppression? The answer is no.

As a Native person, I gotta say Until Dawn was never remotely respectful of indigenous spirituality. It’s weird to hear non-Natives discuss this over our heads without consulting us. By the way, we are still here - therefore our stories still have “modern relevance.”

I think it begs the question that a utopia would be necessary in all contexts. What we see as freedom now emerges from our current political and cultural context of oppression. I know for a fact my tribe did decent, but we have different ideas about how self determination and identity look now.
